The most fired up part of the democrat party is the PUMA’S and the REAGAN DEMOCRATS!!!!
The democrats still have time to kick in doors and drag their unified party to the polling place by their hair.
Too much anecdotal evidence going on today. I’m not going to get too down or up until after the polls start closing and real results flow in.
I went home and voted after the lunch hour, figuring the line would be shorter. I was the only voter in the place. And I live in a heavily african-american precinct.
Interesting, HOWEVER do not forget the lawsuits to keep the polls open that the NAACP tried this year and they tried and SUCCEEDED for a few hours in Philly.
as long as the polls are open they can dig up new voters or recycle old voters in different precinccts.
They have ample time to bus people in from out of state.
PICTURES PEOPLE !
I just voted within the past hour here in Massachusetts. Turnout is very heavy and most of the names on my street were already checked off when I checked in. Now my precinct in Chelmsford (just south of NH) leans GOP so there were plenty of McCain/Palin signholders as well as those for other GOP candidates. People were walking up to the McCain people to chat with them but the Obama signholders were standing by themselves.
No Black Panthers here! Just a couple of friendly Chelmsford cops and the local PTA was having a bake sale.
It is almost 4PM here on the East Coast and I was just thinking that four years ago at this time, the media was buzzing over "leaked" exit polls showing that Kerry had a 3-4 point lead in key states and was poised to be our next president. I drove home from work four years ago very depressed and thinking that it was over.
Not so this time, even though the final polls this morning looked a lot worse for us than four years ago. Not a peep in the mainstream media about exit polls this time out and I can only deduce that the news is not as good (from their standpoint) as it was four years ago.
I recommend all Freeper to leave the TV off until at least 9PM. That's when most of the polls east of the Mississippi is closed and the really meaningful data starts pouring in. Until that time, they will be in full hype mode for Obama.
ACORN pays those “reserve” voters to register, but it has to pay them again to vote... and the ACORN gravy train has been derailed. Uh oh, the smokes for votes ploy may not be working this election.
Obama campaign so worried about turnout in Virginia and Missouri that they are activating “backup” volunteers to make calls from home.
&&&
Don’t worry, they’ll also mobilize their backup multiple voters, as well.
It's all anecdotal at this point. We had heavy turnout at the precinct where I worked as an election judge. Yet there weren't a large number of minorities. That surprised me because this is an area of Minneapolis where there are plenty of minorities.
I thought we had a huge number of motor-voters i.e. those that had to register at the polls. Yet those at the registration table said there were only about 70 of them by lunch time. That was nothing.
We had a large number of young voters. They could be Ron Paul types...at least one I have seen before as a Paul disciple. If there were many Paul voters they MAY not help McCain but they won't help Obama.
There were a couple of first time and Obama voters who were utterly confused by the ballot.
My wife worked at our precinct. She said there were lots of minorities there. Still, we do have lots of minorities in the neighborhood, so I don't know what there is to make of it.
I fielded five questions today. Two were Obama voters. They showed me their ballots. They were clueless nit wits. The other three could go either way. Two of them were black. All three were obvious first time voters. All three asked extremely sensible and intelligent questions.
Finally, I can tell you I have been asked to work at this precinct because I am a registered Republican. The majority of these other judges are Democrats. They are EXTREMELY nice and dedicated to doing a professional job.
Note, please, it's all anecdotal.
Oh, we're turning out. We're just voting for Yosemite Sam.
And no, I'm not a bloody PUMA.
Obama camp worried
Heh heh heh. They oughta be...
Dumb question, but how do they “know” what the numbers are?
I don’t know if that Virginia report is on the money.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginians are voting at a record-setting pace.
The executive secretary of the State Board of Elections said at a briefing in Richmond that 30 percent to 40 percent of the state’s more than 5 million registered voters had cast ballots Tuesday morning. Nancy Rodrigues said that typically the turnout is about one-half of that pace.
She estimated that more than 75 percent of Virginia’s registered voters will have cast ballots by the time the polls close at 7 p.m.
It’s all about turnout. WE know that...
GOTV, GOTV, GOTV!
I hadn’t seen that buy I imagine it’s difficult to get all those busses full of voters from Virginia, to West Virginia to Ohio, Pennsylvania and then to Missouri so they can vote before the polls close!!! At least the busses don’t have to stop in Illiois as the dearly departed deceased vote was all sewn up there for Obama !
This would explain some people saying they’ve been called a couple of times today in Virginia.
However, lets remember, Obama HATES Fox. I wouldn’t put it past the people in his campaign to give false information to them to make them look stupid.
trying hard to suppress giddiness!
